*accepts unscientific skepticism as fact
Too much coffee.

merc,
So he is a sadist and a peeping tom?
Well his forebear YAHWEH knew no bounds, at all, that's why the franchise needed a serious upgrade to...The All Lovin' God, Jesus, son of, but actually Lord, aw it's gets kinda complicated, you just gotta have faith. (More points, introduces another song title, I am on fire, and another...).

I think I prefered the pagan gods - they only fucked with famous people's lives.

Yes, it seems that some of the scientists with informed objections are paleoclimatologists and geologists, but there seem to be valid rebuttals to their arguments. I'm clearly in no position to adjudicate there.
Well, they're right that we have long-term variability in the climate system - but the degree of warming we are seeing now is well outside the range (as are atmospheric CO2 levels). There was a very memorable demonstration of this in "An Inconvenient Truth",and if you want it without the showmanship, I suggest Peter Barrett's Will Unchecked Global Warming Destroy Civilisation by Century’s End? What Three Degrees of Global Warming Really Means (PDF). It makes it very clear that current warming is against the trend of the last 80 million years, and that current projections will see us getting an average global temperature not seen for 40 million years.

Hamboy: yes. And proliferation too. But its looking very much like those are the lesser evils (and it helps greatly that the Europeans actualy know how to run a nuclear power program - unlike the Americans, who only know how to cut corners for higher profits).
What is it in these bull-headed old men that prevents them from absorbing knowledge?
Rigor mortis. Alternatively, constipation. No room for new ideas, because they're already full of old ones.
-
merc,
They don't think they are old men, it's Peter Pan all over again (or the Puer Aeternus for those of a Latin bent).

I'll run with the former suggestion. Most of Leighton and George's supporters have cobwebs threaded throughout their nostrils.
I suppose this means zombies. Oooh, I'm not fond of them either.

Yes with style and seduction and the thrill of the chase, they got their women.
How sad a god do you have to be if you have to actually tell the chick (Mary) that you had your way with her and knacked her up. lol -
3410,
I can't understand why fundys who profess love for God's earth and their fellow men past, present and future are so opposed to global warming.
I'd say that the fact that they're all about the next world goes a long way to understanding why they don't seem to give a damn about this one. Many fundamentalists actually want to see the End Times come on as fast as possible.

As well as fucking swans, bulls, siblings, parents and all manner of perverted stuff..... the Greek and Roman gods were certainly unhindered by morals or convention when it came to having a good time!

almost and fun loving as the Exclusive Brethren

merc,
Global Warming is quickening The Rapture, everyone knows that, and not a moment too soon.

As a pose to taking another man's wife, then expecting him to raise the off spring.
3410: You forgot idea that god provides everything we need. Which is another arguement they use against worrying about climate change.
Though there are more mainstream evangelist groups that wish to fight climate change, since they consider the earth to be gods creation and so we should respect it. -
see, http://www.cybercitycafe.com/prophecies.html.
a bit more scientific than Leighton or Augie anyway. -

Either God or 'human ingenuity' - another Leighton line.
If it's 'the fire next time', not flooding, shouldn't they be more concerned about global warming?
-
see, The Quickening is The Rapture.

merc,
Hmmm, so that's God's homepage, think his son created it?
-
Aurgh, can't read, bad web design.
Thing is, God doesn't have to destroy the world with a flood. Humans can do a perfectly adequatic job without him.
-
yeah. i don't think jebus is all that up on the IT stuff, which does explain a lot really
-

No because they would have been raptured up to heaven long before that.
And their form of christianity doesn't give a f**k about anyone else. -
merc,
Did you know that the fullstop (.) is a symbol for Christ? I've noticed you've stopped using fullstops Agent Riddley, no biggie, just noticed, you know.
And Heather, I think we really stepped up to the plate when we developed the Bomb, not that destroying the earth 8 times over on a guess isn't enough or anything.
Some have called this development a psychotic act. -
Good point, and they don't even work against aliens.
-
i don't think jebus is all that up on the IT stuff
But he may have had an ipod lol
I apologise if that link doesn't work. I have only just figured out how to use the quote thing. lol
-
WH,
I'm clearly in no position to adjudicate there.
I think this is an important point. On what grounds does someone like Garth or Leighton discard the findings of the IPCC? It is absurd that some people presume to make authoritative claims about the truth or falsity of scientific theory without a command of the science. Its absurd to invite us to try.
-
merc,
Illegal aliens will be the first to cop it, trust me.
